RantCrush Top 5: June 13, 2017

Last night, the Golden State Warriors won the NBA finals for the second time in three seasons. Normally, the NBA champions would go to the White House to be congratulated by the president, but this year, the team unanimously decided to skip that event, according to some reports. The team has not publicly commented on this, but the coach Steve Kerr has previously criticized President Trump for not being prepared enough to take over the White House.

Player David West has said that Trump is the opposite of what he is trying to teach young people. “We try to talk our young people out of being bullies. We try to talk our young men out of disrespecting women. We try to talk our young people into being accepting of other people’s opinions and other people’s walks of life,” he said in January.
